Urban Animals: A Comic Field Guide

You ve seen them before. They re in your home, in your office, on the street. You ve encountered them at some fine and not-so-fine establishments. They re the new urban animals, and now they ve been classified. You know you ve met Every Mother s Worse Nightmare ( So what if it says Pussy on the front, Mom? There s a picture of a cat under the word ) and The Simpsons Quoter (Natural habitat: His own private Springfield no further description necessary). From That Young Literary Guy, who has just published a novel, half of which is comprised of footnotes, to The Condescending Vegetarian, who misses the nineties, when it was more acceptable to call a hamburger evil just as a dining companion was about to attack one, this book takes a biting look at the creatures that inhabit our everyday urban world laugh-out-loud portraits, with a touch of the tragically comic. Beware, you might find yourself in here.
